Dalmiya facing tough opposition in CAB elections

The former ICC President Jagmohan Dalmiya is being forced to wage a tough battle to see that his panel of candidates get through in the elections to the various posts of the office-bearers at the Cricket Association of Bengal. The election takes place during the Annual General Meeting of the Association on Saturday.

The opposition panel has put up candidates against the sitting candidates in most of the posts, except for the post of the President where Dalmiya is contesting. The main leader of the opposition group Samar Paul said on Thursday, "We have a very bright chance of getting at least a couple of our candidates elected. So why should we step down." The AGM of the CAB could well turn out to be one of the stormiest seen in recent years.
